They, the FAA have their rules of transportation, overseas as well as in the U.S. They list every type of product that is prohibited to ship via Air transport. They do regulate that industry and with great vigor. They , I think OWN that, and the decisions are then passed to the court for a final decision. Most likely the FAA wins the contest.
The FAA Regulates everything regarding air transport and safety, including interstate commerce for Air Transport. One day they will Regulate the AMA . That is what I am against. The Safety Violations people are making in our hobby, in my opinion, will turn the tables on flight safety , then comes the reg's. It's gonna happen if it continues.

This is exactly what I've been talking about and been admonished for my ideas. We as the people that are going to be punished for a couple of Rouge flyers that may not even Know that there are Rules/Safety Code/FAR's pertaining to flying anything R/C in the USA/NAS. What I've been advocating to preempt the enevitable is to Educate those that don't belong to the AMA/CBO of the existance and knoledge pertaining to the Rules/Safety Code/FAR's so everyone in the USA that has anything to do with R/C flying devices (TOY Airplanes). knows what is expected of them. This is to assure that they know when, Where, & How to operate R/C TOY Airplanes. Hopefully this will Keep the FAA/NTSB from over reacting and grounding all R/C Flying (IF/WHEN)There is a conflict between an R/C (TOY Airplane) and a maned aircraft.
Simple Nothing more or less. Srry folks but's ta darn spll'n ckkr thng still's brok.
